I had never thought of hiring an investment management corporation before. Actually, I always took a very hands-on approach to business. I learned it from my dad - himself an entrepreneur. He didn't believe in investment capital management through a broker. By doing the paperwork himself, he cumulated a financial fortune. Of course, he worked about 80 hours a week and died at the age of 55 of a heart attack, so there are things about his life that I don't really want to repeat. Even so, managing investment myself was a hard habit to break. Nevertheless, eventually I just couldn't handle it anymore. I don't know if my investment portfolio had grown too diverse, too large, or if I just didn't have my father's talent for figures. Whatever the reason, I was too busy to manage the family business and take care of my investments. It was obviously what I had to give up. I hired a good capital asset management company the very next week. A lot of things have been difficult about the new investment management company. The most difficult, of course, has been giving up some control on my investments. When I first hired the investments management company, I tried to keep as tight a leash as possible. I wanted to know about every transaction, approve every decision, and in general. Always keep my hands in the pie. After a while, my broker spoke to me honestly. He told me that there was no point in having an investment manager if I was keeping trying to do all the work anyway. He then asked me very clearly if I wanted him to do my mutual funds management or not. I backed down, understanding he was right. Recognizing the fact that this firm has done a better job than I have was the hardest thing about investment management. Even with the money that they charge me, I still make a large amount more off of my investments than I ever have before. My investment portfolio has grown at twice its usual rate this year, and it does not seem that it is going to slow down. At first, I had almost expected to have to take control back. Part of me was even hoping that investment management would turn out to be a wrong experiment. After all, it is difficult to admit that a third party can do something better than you can.
